AML M7140 Stationary Terminal - Manual (Page 39)

36
If the M7140 desktop terminal does not receive a response to the pinging, then the above
(right) screen will appear. It is very important that the M7140 desktop terminal is able to
communicate with the CommandLink™ RF communicator server PC. The “Avg” transfer
time in milliseconds and “PLoss” percentages is very important. High ping transfer rates or
failure to communicate with the server will make the CommandLink programs un-usable on
the M7140 desktop terminal.
The “Ping Server” function can be used to ping Access Points and other computers on the
wireless local area network. This is a useful tool in determining wireless network connectivity.
Like all computer equipment, the M7140 Desktop terminal can not ping to other equipment
that isn’t connected to the currently specified local area network.
Print Test Label
The “Print Test Label” function allows the operator test a serial printer through the port on the
back of the M7140 desktop terminal.
The types of printers supported are shown in the “Print Test Label” sub-menu function.
If the M7140 desktop terminal is setup for serial printing, it sends the data to the serial port
(see Local Settings Menu for communications options).
